Pure Hallowe'en Genius from TDB

First Sergeant Berates Kids Wearing Out-of-regs Army Costumes

Over the course of the evening, numerous children in military costumes were seen being turned away from the Brooks household, in tears and without candy.

“He told me to button my pockets and blouse my boots, whatever that means,” said Toby McWatt, a confused fourth grader who went trick-or-treating as “an Army Guy.” “Then he said he wouldn’t give me candy unless I told him what unit my dad’s in.”

“He’s a poophead,” McWatt concluded.

It is worth the whole read.  As usual.

Bwahahahaha-the perfect scene for this story!

The kids are probably lucky. 1st Sgt. Poophead probably gave out a heaping scoop of SOS instead of candy. "What, no messkit?!? that's your problem, private!". Or maybe a can of C-rats. Then they, too, can have the fun of trying to swap their can of "Ham and Eggs, Chopped" or "Ham and Lima Beans" for something edible.

The comments are always the best part, because there's always somebody who doesn't get that TDB is satire.

Oh, and the comment that the kids' TP operation was professionally-executed is just perfect.

That's hilarious.

Oh, and thanks Captain Ned, I went back and read the comments and that cracked me up all over again.

I love it when fools get OUTRAGED!!!!! because they don't realize it's satire.
